So, technically, there was a Winnie the Pooh comic strip, so it is totally within our wheelhouse to do an episode about Winnie the Pooh (2011)! Is it more or less in line with AA Milne's vision of the chubby little bear all stuffed with fluff? Check it out!

There's so much more to say about Singlish after last episode that we're saying some more of it this episode. Poet and academic Gwee Li Sui, author of Spiaking Singlish: A Companion to how Singaporeans Communicate, describes the resistance he received in Singapore when he published Singlish translations of literary works - and why they are important and celebratory for Singlish. And Stacey Mei Yan Fong, baker and author of 50 Pies, 50 States, explains how the language that used to be embarrassing for her is now a huge comfort.

In this episode of Joculation, LP shares his unique brand of comedy and satire on the news and headlines which matter most. In the Dead Toad Scrolls, a series of meditative personal essays, Killroy J. Oldster states, “Days spent in idleness and leisure creates empty pages in the anthology of human beings and leaves no indelible mark in the pages of a person's life story.” No indelible marks you say Mr. Oldster? Join LP this episode as we discover how days spent in idleness and leisure led a young man to occupy this leisure time by inserting “dynamite-like explosives” into his rectum, detonating them, and having his ass rebuilt like the bionic man (https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/weird-news/man-blows-up-bum-strapping-26365645). Who would have known all you need to rebuild a blown-up ass is some papier-mâché and a few classic episodes of Martha Stewart Living? According to Urology Case Reports, urethral foreign bodies are (allegedly) rare and with a variety of causes. “Rare”, you say? In this episode, LP plays a bit of graveyard bingo to quantify how rare stories of men jamming things up their urethra really are, and stumbles across a guaranteed first ballot hall of famer who, against all odds, managed to fit a single AA battery in his urethra and kept it there for 24 hours (https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/weird-news/man-rushed-emergency-surgery-after-26333088?int_source=mantis_rec&int_medium=web&int_campaign=more_like_this). Where is John Madden on the telestrator with the play by play and color commentary we need during this intimate and historical moment in Natural Selection? Nothing says quaint magical fairytale setting and pixie dust quite like driving down to the Ashdown Forrest in East Sussex - the inspiration for AA Milne's Hundred Acres Wood in the Winnie the Pooh stories - for a lascivious yet relaxing Sunday afternoon dogging session amongst Winnie the Pooh and his friends. In this episode, let's hear LP regale the listeners with the tales of the police in Sussex desperately urge people engaging in “acts of a sexual nature” not to visit the Sussex beauty spot (https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/weird-news/police-crackdown-doggers-plaguing-family-26341423). And here Pooh thought he only had to worry about the Hephalumps, Woozels, and his jars of honey. Who would have ever thought the Hundred Acre Wood might need of a resident jizz mopper?

This is the final chapter in AA Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh and we celebrate Pooh's big heart!

Agatha Christie - The Murder Of Roger Ackroyd - Episode 2 - Agatha Christies Masterpiece of Whodunit!   HI, I'm Christy Shriver and we're here to discuss books that have changed the world and have changed us.    And I'm Garry Shriver, and this is the How to Love lit podcast.  This is our second and final episode discussing Christie's breakout novel, the one critics claim is her very best, The Murder or Roger Ackroyd.  Last week, we talked about the book in terms of it being a formal detective novel- a murder of manners as I read one critic describe the genre.  We discussed the conventions of the style.  We also introduced her most famous and beloved character, Hercule Poirot, and you left us, Christy, with a teaser saying you wanted to get back to the story of Christie, as in Agatha Christie and Poirot's relationship before we finish by spoiling for everyone who hasn't read it yet, who did kill Roger Ackroyd.  So, Christy, and it is slightly confusing- calling you Christy and then her being Dame Christie.  But even still,, here's the question to start with, Did Christie really hate Poirot?  He made Christie quite a bit of money over the years.  How could she hate  a character that had been so good to her?    Yes, I truly think she came to.  The first reason I feel confident making this claim is that she wrote an essay titled “Why I got Fed up with Poirot”-    Well, that certainly conveys at minimum a slight frustration.      Yes- the title is a little catchy.  I read the essay, and the first reason is simple, makes a lot of sense if you thnk about it.  She was just saddled with him- she didn't know when she made him up that she was going to closer to him than most husbands and she made him deliberately annoying to be around.  Some of her final words in that essay were advice to future writers and she says this, “I would give one piece of advice to young detective writers: be very careful what central character you create- you may have him with you're a very long time.”      HA!  So basically, his eccentricities the ones people find hilariously annoying just got on her last nerves over time.  She said once that he was a “detestable, bombastic, tiresome, ego-centric little creep”.   Which is, of course, a nasty way of saying some of the same things she's said about him in her books, but often in her books she uses gentler terms.  He IS annoying- that's part of the schtick.  He DOES brag and constantly reminds his suspects that he always uncovers their lies.  Even in this book, up to the very end, he gloats and brags on himself from the beginning to end.      Oh for sure!  And since she wrote him in 33 novels, two plays and over 50 short stories. I can only imagine he was with her, at least in the back of her mind, always.  If he's not like a husband, he's certainly like her child, maybe that's the right metaphor.  But I do think it went even beyond her being annoyed with him, as a character.  Poirot, in very obvious ways,  limited her as a writer.  In that same essay she also said this, “  My own Hercule Poirot is often somewhat of an embarrassment to me – not in himself, but in the calling of his life. Would anyone go and ‘consult' him? One feels not.    So, it seems as if it bothered her that he wasn't as realistic as she would have written him, maybe later in life?    I think it's something along those lines.  He was a great schtick, but there was schtick element to it, in many ways.   He didn't allow her to develop her writing or even her thematic ideas-  he was just too silly.   Her great- grandson, James Pritchard spoke to this to the BBC.  He said that in her own words she wanted to “exorcise herself of him” but he was her- and again in her own words- “bread and butter”.  He was of immense commercial importance to her, if not of great creative importance in some ways.   According to Pritchard she had so many other ideas for books that weren't appropriate for Poirot, but her agents and publishers would come back and remind her he was his most popular character. And so, there was the conundrum…although I have to admit, I'd love to have a problem like that.    Yes, I think many of us would, although I can kind of see where she's coming from.  We hear actors from time to time express ideas similar that.  Famously, I remember George Reeves, who was the original Superman, complained all the way until his strange and mysterious suicide that he just hated always being Superman.  Or more recently, one example that comes to mind might be Daniel Ratcliffe who noticeably has worked incredibly hard to demonstrate that he is not just Harry Potter, but a versatile actor.  What I find interesting about Christie's relationship with Poirot is that she was loyal or maybe even jealous of him.    Explain that.    She took great pains not to let anyone else have him.  During WW2, Christie, like many patriotic British celebrities chose to stay was in London during the Blitz.  In other words, not taking advantage of the privilege of wealth and fame to ride the war out in America or some other safe destination.  If you remember, the Blitz is what we call the eight months during 1940-1941 when the Nazis sieged London as well as other large and important British cities with constant bombings. But choosing to stick it out during the bombings is not the same as not being concerned that the decision might cost you your life.   Fearing she might not survive the attacks, she wrote two stories that killed off each of her most famous detectives – Poirot and Miss Marple. She included a provision in her will that the stories would be published if she were to die in the war. But fortunately for us, she didn't die in the war and Poirot hung around to annoy his creator for three more decades.    True, and it wasn't until 1975, when her own health began to fail that , she finally published Curtain, the novel she wrote during World War II, which killed off Poirot. It wasn't but a few months later, in 1976, that Christie herself died- so you can see, she kept him around her entire adult life.  I would tell you how Poirot dies, but you never want to give too much away about Christie novels- the surprises are the fun part- but it is a really great conclusion.  Oh and one more thing- and this is really to Poirot's credit, maybe more than Christie's, the public reaction to what Christie did in her final novel was so tremendous that Hercule Poirot was the first ever fictional character to get a front page obituary in the New York Times. On August 6, 1975, a headline ran announcing, “Poirot is Dead; Famed Belgian Detective; Hercule Poirot, the Detective, Dies”.     Incredible!  Truly, so back to our story.  Last week, we talked about all the ways, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd fits the bill for a traditional formal detective novel: the setting, the characters, the weapon, the investigative style, all of it cul minating in a happily ever after ending where the world is left back in an orderly fashion- where justice is served- you even brought up the mah jong game, and even suggested that Christie may even be constructing a subtle argument that life is better in community playing by the rules.  Where life is better lived when and where people interact and engage each other deliberately- where people organize and live according to commonly agreed-upon rules of engagement…or something like that…And now this week, we are going to see that all that talk about rules is just a cruel joke to seduce us into a game where she is NOT going to follow the rules of the game.  And here's the spoiler, so if you haven't read the book, unplug now…fair warning….drum roll for the reveal….. the narrator is the murderer!!!  That's unfair!!!  Even according to Christie's own set of rules.    And yet is it? and I assume, by rules you are referring to the rules of the Detection Club.   In 1930, a group of mystery writers, Agatha Christie, among them but also others one example being, interestingly enough, the  AA Milne who's most famous for giving us Winnie the Poo.  The Detection Club actually still exists, btw.  You have to be formally invited, and obviously it's prestigious.   But, to be a member, you swear an oath- and of course, it's a bit tongue in check but you are asked to foreswear any of the bad practices of mystery writing.  Garry, read for us the oath.     “Do you promise that your detectives shall well and truly detect crimes presented to them using those wits which it may please you to bestow upon them and not placing reliance on nor making use of Divine Revelation, Feminine Intuition, Mumbo jumbo, Jiggery-Pokery, Coincidence or Act of God?    It's awesome, and gives you a distinct impression that this is  a fun bunch to be associated with.  The Detection Club hosts formal dinners and other social things, but also The members collaborate with ideas, encourage each other with their individual works and even at times have co-written  books together.  Beyond the oath though, they also have what they call the “fair play rules” of detective novels.  There are ten of them.  One rule is that the detective himself will not commit the murder.  But here's the one that people claim Christie broke with Dr. Shepperd.  Rule number 9- let's read that one     And I quote- The stupid friend of the detective, the Watson, must not conceal any thoughts which pass through his mind; his intelligence must be slightly, but very slightly, below that of the average reader.    What we have to recognize, and what is so awesome about how Christie wrote the book is that Dr. Shepperd, the narrator who is actually our murderer never lies tp us.  He never conceals anything that happens during the investigation at all really- the facts are the facts.  He faithfully relays what is going on.  In one sense of the word, he is faithful to us, but, of course, as we reread the book knowing that he's the murderer- we can see that we are deliberately misled at every point.  Here's one example of what I'm talking about.  On the night that Ackroyd is murdered, Shepperd is the ONLY one with him.  He's the last one to see him.  Naturally, that should make him the first and perhaps most important suspect.  Everyone knows that, but in our minds we dismiss the obvious…until we know than it jumps out on the page.  Let's read the actual murder scene as we know it no in retrospect.    Page 43    So, from the first read, we think Shepperd walked out before Ackroyd read the letter.  Shepperd intends for us to read it exactly like that.  And of course- everything here is true-    Well, there are only a few omissions literally accounting for only give minutes of narrative- he left out the small detail that he murdered Roger Ackroyd, ran down to the summerhouse, took Ralph Patton's shoes out of a bag, slipped them on, walked through mud, left prints on the window ledge, climbed in the same window, changed back into his own shoes and raced down to the gate.       HA!!!  Well, it turns out a lot can happen in five minutes.  But it's also not inaccurate to say, as he did say in summary- he left with nothing left undone- meaning he staged the murder exactly as he wanted- nothing undone.     And yet, Christie gets everyone to just blow right pass that omission- which when I read the book the second time jumped out at me as being obvious.     How does she make us dismiss him?   I'll admit the thought crossed my mind that Shepperd should be a suspect.  There were things that were odd, but I ended up quickly dismissing anything that would make me even question him.     Exactly, for one thing, we have been conditioned by Sherlock Holmes and Watson, and Christie plays with this.  We expect the sidekick to be naïve and overconfident- look at the rules of fairplay- of being of slightly lower intelligence than us.  Watson always is. Also, if you have read any other Poirot story, you would really be at a disadvantage because even Poirot has a sidekick- one he references in this book- Captain Hastings.  What Christie has done is make a parody of the old model.  She used our own experience of reading other detective novels against us.  She's kind of mocking the model, is some sense.       In other words, She's toying with our prejudices and previously held assumptions- encouraging us to entertain our own unconscious biases- to use a term we would use for this default judgement nowadays.  We don't even realize we're doing it- it's unconscious.      I think so, we don't even know we're doing it, and yet we do- and she does this while clearly and making the most important clues the most obvious- with one exception- the dictophone.  There's only one reference to that and it is a passing reference, and some people have said that's not fair, but I think that's just sour grapes- to use a reference to Aesop's fables.   The other clues are very prominent.  Poirot is quick to point out that the arm chair is out of place.  This is a very important clue.  In fact, it's obvious to the reader the Christie wants us to know it's important, but we don't know what to do with it.    That's how I felt about the telephone call. Poirot references it multiple times, and literally says if we could make sense of the phone call, we would solve the mystery.  We know the phone call is the most important thing, but that didn't help me solve it.  I never did understand it until Poirot explained it.    And Shepperd's double-talk is really everywhere.  Look back at what Shepperd said about the last time he spoke with MRs. Ferrars before her suicide.  He said, “Her manner then had been normal enough considering-well-considering everything.”  We think he means considering the fact that she'd killed her husband, but what he actually means, considering everything- considering that she killed her husband AND that he was blackmailing her.      Well, my favorite deception is the one where Dr. Shepperd hollers at Ackroyd, while knowing he's dead.  He breaks down the door then states this to us the reader and let me quote him directly, “Ackroyd was sitting as I had left him in the armchair before the fire.  His head had fallen sideways, and clearly visible, just below the collar of his coat, was a shining piece of twisted metalwork.”  That IS EXACTLY how he left him, but we are left to assume he meant- except for the knife in his neck, but he doesn't actually say that.  WE think it on our own. We construct the rest of the statement with our own unconscious biases.  Of course, the knife wasn't in his neck, that would mean Dr. Shepperd killed him which of course he couldn't have.  He's the narrator, so we unconsciously add something to the narrative that is not there.       It's very clever wording.  Changing directlions just a little bit.  I want to talk about a trick that Poirot does over and over again  that I didn't catch on to until Poirot's revelation at the very end.  Poirot gives out quite a few  false stories.  We really shouldn't believe eveyrthing he says at all.   Had I understood he did that, I might have had a fighting chance at following Poirot's line of reasoning, although likely not.  Poirot is the one with a habit of fabricating stories, or little false lies, not Shepperd.    There was the fake experiment with Flora the one where he was trying to see if Flora had actually gone in the study, or if she had just gone in front of the study to get to the stairs that led to Ackroyd's bedroom.  But that's not the only one, and we're at least told about that one.  And In that case,  Poirot regularly lets Shepperd into his confidence about his lying, which made me think Poirot trusted Shepperd.  He admitted to Shepperd the truth about the ring when that lie was told as well as the fake newspaper story.  Christie misleads us to the assumption that Poirot implicitedly trusts Shepperd because he was telling Shepperd some things.  We assume he is telling Shepperd everything, if not explaining any line of reasoning. But he wasn't, we find out later that Poirot had fabricated an entire family member.        Another point that becomes clear in the all important chapter 23, that's the chapter about little reunion, is that even Poirot agrees with Shepperd's retelling of the investigation.  Poirot even compliments Shepperd for his faithful retelling of the investigation.      It's kind of an interesting section once you understand Poirot knows Shepperd is the murderer.  Poirot doesn't let on anything.   Shepperd confesses to Poirot that he has been writing the account of the murder in book form and had 20 chapters already written.  Poirot asks to read it, referencing his old friend Hastings.  After he finishes reading Shepperd's account- ironically while sitting in Shepperd's own workshop where he built the contraption he was going to use in the murder, Shepperd asks Poirot what he thinks.      Let's read Poirot's carefully chosen comments- knowing that we now know on the second read that Poirot knows he's talking to the murderer.    Page 255     Such irony- Poirot is deceiving the deceiver. And when we get to the little reunion, it becomes obvious that Poirot had been concealing a LOT of things from Shepperd including the fact that he had hidden Ralph Patton the whole time while letting Shepperd frame him or at least appear guilty to everyone.  Another really ironic line from Dr. Shepperd is what he says to us the readers the moment Ralph Patton walks out.  It's the first sentence of chapter 24, Shepperd sees Ralph coming in and he says, “It was a very uncomfortable minute for me.”    I imagine it really was.  And yet, even at this point with that kind of comment in our faces, we still don't suspect the doctor of being the murderer.  But we definitely should. Shepperd confesses that he secretly went to Ralph Patton, talked him into abandoning his wife and then stashed him in a hospital.  When Poirot brings out Patton, it's uncomflrtable because Shepperd was the one that had hid Patton.  Poirot wasn't supposed to know where he was at all.  When Patton walks out, what's uncomfortable for Shepperd is realizing that Poirot has known for a long time where Patton was hidden, and if Poirot knew where he was hidden, he knew who was responsible for hiding him.  Awkward.    True, but maybe Christie's biggest deception as far as what she's concealed from us the readers and that kept us from suspecting Shepperd is that we really didn't see him as having a motive.  Why kill his friend?  And he and Ackroyd were clearly friends.  What made Dr. Shepperd commit this heartless crime?      Part of the fun of reading a detective novel is understanding how someone committed a crime.  That is more fun than understanding they why of why they did it.  We know from real life that people kill for so endless reasons some of them terribly meaningless, we don't need a lot by way of justification.  But in this case, Dr. Shepperd doesn't seem the type to commit a random murder.  He didn't have a clear personal issue with Ackroyd, either.  They don't seem in love with the same woman, so we have to rule- crime of passion-  out.  It's hard to imagine Shepperd would do it for the money either, although doctors weren't necessarily rich in those days, they were employed and Shepperd expresses no real habits that would be high-dollar like gambling or traveling or anything like.  But maybe more importantly, doctors just normally seem committed to saving lives rather than ending them- and he's seeing patients all the way to the end of the book. There's no obvious motive really.      Poirot answers this for us very subtextually in chapter.  He has come back from Cranchester, knows Shepperd is the murderer, and tells Caroline and Shepperd as well as us, the readers, why he did it- of course Caroline thinks he's talking about Ralph Patton.        Page 202      Christie speaks about weakness several times and has Caroline call her brother weak several times.  It's not necessarily evil, as we generally define evil, which I find very interesting- but of course is absolutely IS evil in this case because it leads to the taking of life.      Yes, and from a historical perspective, this is where I find that knowing something about the author's background changes my understanding of what she is saying.  We know Christie publishes this novel in 1926.  She was a nurse during WW1.  No one in Europe was untouched by evil.  Everyone was trying to understand it and confront it, but most were unsuccessul.    It is out of this kind of madness that we get great thinking and writing of a different kind, writers like Kafka, Sartre, Dostoyesky, Camus were all talking about the purpose of life, the cause of evil, the ability to keep from committing physical and/or mental suicide- of finding purpose in meaningless tragedy- that sort of thing.  Hemingway and Fitzgerald even Steinbeck on this side of the Atlantic were doing the same thing.  In fact, in our next book we're going to get neck deep in Camus' ideas of the absurd as expressed in the Stranger.   Knowing this was what people were dealing with and writing about makes it  safe to infer that Christie was not oblivious to the thoughts of the age and  certainly not above making her own commentary on the essence of evil.     Evil, embedded in the heart of every man, is an ancient idea- not an original one.  It's even a Biblical idea.   But she situates it in a claustrophobic, safe enclosed environment- not a chaotic warzone.   There are no outside forces forcing people into impossible moral compromises.  She illustrates something different.  There is weakness from within regardless of the environment- it is in a single, seemingly simple but brilliant country doctor, a man who is a community icon- the bastion of propriety and virtue in his world.      Which of course, makes him invisible to everyone, even us the readers.  Are you suggesting Shepperd embodies her ironic social commentary?    She's engaging her postwar countrymen while appearing to NOT engage them- it's very Hercule Poirot-like.    I kind of see it that way- I can only imagine what she saw in those patient beds during the war days.  If it is anything close to what Walt Whitman talked about it must have supported the idea of a deeply embedded weakness in every human being- good people showing up maybe even confessing to having committed horrible atrocities to themselves and others.   There were easy opportunities for exploitation too, beyond just the obvious war zones.    Exactly the source of PTSD in a lot of people.      Which brings us to the solution of our murder. So, at the very end, chapter 20, it finally occurs to Shepperd that Poirot may not be so easily fooled as he originally thought…and I quote, “it occurred to me that there was not much which escaped Hercule Poirot”.  Poirot invites all of the suspects over to his house for, as he called it “a little conference”.  This conference will even include the notorious Ralph Patton, although no one knows that until he reveals himself.  But of course, in typical detective book fashion, they all go to the meeting.      Before we get there, though, I do pause for one more funny aside and bring up a comment Caroline makes about men,     Oh dear.    I know, right,  in chapter 22, Ursula is making a confessional to Caroline basically admitting that she had said some very nasty things to Ralph Patton that she regrets saying to which Caroline responds with this deep and insightful life lesson for us all, “Never worry about what you say to a man. They're so conceited that they never believe you mean it if it's unflattering.”  So, Garry, what do you think about that little comment…is it true?    Well, all I have to say is that Caroline has been wrong about everything else.  I don't know why you'd start taking life lessons from her now?  This is the same woman that is trying to fake being a vegetarian to a world-class detective.      True, but funny.  Which us brings us back to chapter 23.  This is where Dr. Shepperd gives over to Poirot his narrative of the events of the murder investigation.  It's also where Poirot collects all the suspects in a single room.    Dr. Shepperd should have been worried when Caroline tries to maneuver an invitation to the activity and is rebuffed with this comment, “I should much like to have had you present, mademoiselle, but at this juncture it would not be wise. See, all these people tonight are suspects.  Amongst them, I shall find the person who killed Mr. Ackroyd.”       That should have tipped off not only Dr. Shepperd but the reader as well.  Why does Dr. Shepperd get to go, unless of course, he's a suspect?     It's a fun chapter to read really.  Part of the fun of the detective story is reconstructing the thought processes that led to the discovery- we get to identify with the detective as well as the murderer.  In this chapter, we do both- and we get to identify creatively with all of the little crimes of all the secret- keepers, Ursula, Mrs. Russell, Flora.  He discloses everyone's secrets one by one, and so far everyone is getting a happy ending.      After everyone leaves, we are left alone with Dr. Shepperd and Poirot and hence we have our confrontation.  Dr. Shepperd reveals all the details of the murder, and we, as readers, are shocked and confused as to how we missed it up to that point.  Ironically, Shepperd's book that he wrote with the idea of monetizing Poirot's greatest failure as a detective, ironically has turned out to be something of a confession.   Let's read the final interaction between Poirot and Dr. Shepperd.    Page 282     The final chapter, the Apologia is positioned as if it were Dr. Shepperd's suicide note- except Dr. Shepperd just told us that above all, he is no fool.  And this is where the story gets ambiguous- are we to believe that this guy committed suicide?  Poirot tells him to. He tells him to rewrite his book and confess to the murder- which I guess he does since that's what we're reading.  But does he?  The apologia in many ways is him boasting about how far along he actually got.  He doesn't express remorse, and I quote, “I suppose I must have meant to murder him all along.”  He goes on to say, “I am rather pleased with myself as a writer.”  He literally quotes himself bragging about how he concealed the murder in the pages of the book we just read.    We now see in this very confessional that not only is he a flat out deceiver, but the object was not necessarily to deceive Poirot as it was to deceive the readers of this narrative.  So….does he do it again….are we deceived in thinking he's killed himself and taken the Veronal…or does Dr. Shepperd get away?      Ha!  Clearly Christie doesn't live within the world of perpetual sequels or telenovelas or she just might have written, to be continued.      Well, we hope you've enjoyed our discussion on one of the world's favorite mystery writers and her stand out crime story- The Murder of Roger Ackroyd.  IT certainly has been fun for me.  And speaking of fun, please don't overlook our merchandise- if you're interesting in supporting the podcast or just need a fun happy for someone…we've got you covered..stickers, mugs, tshirts…all the things…they are there with our teaching materials on our website www.howtolovelitpodcast.

Episode 43 of Season 4 went out live on Rebel Rock Radio on 28 Oct 2021.  It was politically charged, I had no choice.  In the midst of load-shedding 4 times a day, labour unrest and trucks being burnt on the  N3, South Africa is on its knees due to the disastrous ANC government.  A rot started by Jacob Zum and perpetuated by Cyril Ramaposa is destroying the country.  Municipal elections are taking place on 1 November, this show is inextricably linked to this point in time.  We kicked off in party mode with My Chemical Romance and 'Vampire Money' off Danger Days.  next up Massive Wagons off their 2020 release House of Noise.  Then it was time for ACDC and it flowed from there.  There were plenty of classic bands.  We heard from the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Doors and Alice Cooper with 'Elected' (what else?).  New stuff came from Joe Bonamassa off his new Time Clocks album, and from KK's Priest with 'Metal Through and Through'.  Note that AA Milne is not in the band :-). As shows go it was pretty well balanced.  We had Venom, the godfathers of today's metal, with a track called 'Don't Burn the Witch'.  We had punk courtesy of The Stranglers and UK Subs, we had the blues with Joe Bonamassa and Rory Gallagher, we had amazing guitarists in Mr Big, Winery Dogs and with Gary Moore.  Reference was made to the situation with the songs.  For example, We had The Cruel Sea with 'Anybody But You',  Adrenaline Mob with 'Judgement Day',  'Race to Extinction' from Accept,  and, another track possibly written about the SA government titled 'Straight From Hell' by Helloween,  In the end, we had some good positivity with Little Steven and 'Out of the Darkness' which I sincerely hope I will be able to report on favourably next week.  We shall see. Artists featured:  My Chemical Romance, Massive Wagons, ACDC, The Rolling Stones, The Cruel Sea, Seether, Accept, Helloween, Anthrax, Ratt, Bad Company, Billy Talent, Soundgarden, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, KK's Priest, Adrenaline Mob, Alice Cooper, Iron Maiden, Great White, Venom, The Stranglers, UK Subs, Anti-Flag, The Donnas, The Cult, Rush, Killswitch Engage, Avenged Sevenfold, Joe Bonamassa, Rory Gallagher, Mr Big, The Winery Dogs, Gary Moore, Judas Priest, Metallica, Little Steven, Richard O'Brien, The Uninvited

This week, I have the honour of sitting with my dear friend, Molly Ashton; Christian home-ed mum of four, author, blogger and podcaster; as we unpack the rituals and practices that make up her lifegiving, Charlotte-Masonesque, country-living home education life. With over 18 years home education experience under her belt with two young adult children now in higher education, Molly is an exemplary veteran home edder, whose relaxed, spiritual and literary based education style is both a beacon and breath of fresh air to new and old home-edders alike. In this episode, we discuss Molly's journey to home education for both her birth and adopted children. We explore the challenges around managing the schedules of multiple aged children, as well as meeting the demands of a child with additional needs. We then unpack why Sally Clarkson plays an important role in Molly's home school journey whilst holding a large space for the Ashton family's list of must read -read aloud books. If you find yourself in the trenches of parenting in the wobbles, be it due to having a new baby like me, or you have just started your adoption journey; or perhaps you may be struggling with balancing the needs of multiple-aged children; maybe you have a child with a learning or neuro-diverse need, or perhaps you are coping with a family crisis;  whatever your wobble may be, be assured that there will be something of comfort or hope in this episode for you. So, why not grab yourself a warm drink, get comfy and let Molly and I take you on a charming conversation about homeschooling through every season in the English countryside. You can find more information and a detailed list of tips from this episode on the corresponding blog here: https://homegrownsonshine.co.uk/blog/ I would love to hear your thoughts.

Today, Jennie builds on an earlier address  - "The Tao of Pooh" - the title of a book by Benjamin Hoff, a western Taoist and the source of Jennie's inspiration today. Hoff's book was inspired by AA Milne's "Winnie the Pooh" - written in the 1920's - when Milne had returned from the trench warfare of WW1 suffering from what we would now call Post Traumatic Stress Disorder  - or PTSD. The story is an allegory used by Milne to explain his  - at times - errant, PTSD-induced behaviour to his son. The characters are different kinds of people or  - more particularly, different aspects of ourselves. Piglet is paranoia; Eeyore is depression. Tigger is impulsivity. Rabbit is perfection-caused aggression. Owl is memory-loss and Kanga represents over-protection. Jennie's point is that these characters are all child-friendly representations of PTSD but are also characteristics to be found within each and every one of us. Jennie follows with some of Hoff's Taoist wisdoms and uses AA Milne's song "Coddleston Pie" to explain why we so often ignore the reality of things as they are. Everything has its own place and function - even mud - even us! Listen on!

Winnie-The-Pooh 'Tiggers don't climb trees' children story by AA Milne

Altering the shape and position of the tongue allows us to create sounds which we form in to words. We will see later in this chapter how the tongue twists and curls, arches and relaxes, and teases the teeth – tucking behind them and slipping between them – to create pronunciation. Even the basic exercise of saying the name of the AA Milne donkey character ‘Eeyore’, you will feel what your tongue does in just two syllables: it arches and relaxes at the back of the throat. From BBC presentation trainer Peter Stewart (@TweeterStewart), GET A BETTER BROADCAST, PODCAST AND VIDEO VOICE is a short, daily guide to help you become a stronger voice communicator on radio and TV, podcasts, video, voiceovers and webinars.It's the audio version of the book Peter's writing of the same name, both focusing exclusively on your vocal image on audio and video channels with two main aims:· To get you a better voice for audio and video channels.· To show you how to read out loud confidently, convincingly and conversationally.Through these under-5-minute episodes, you can build your confidence and competence with advice on breathing and reading, inflection and projection, the roles played by better scripting and better sitting, mic techniques and voice care tips... with exercises and anecdotes from a career spent in TV and radio studios.And as themes develop over the weeks (that is, they are not random topics day-by-day), this is a free, course to help you GET A BETTER BROADCAST, PODCAST AND VIDEO VOICE.Look out for more details of the book during 2021.Contacts: https://linktr.ee/Peter_Stewart Peter has been around voice and audio all his working life and has trained hundreds of broadcasters in all styles of radio from pop music stations such as Capital FM and BBC Radio 1 to Heart FM, the classical music station BBC Radio 3 and regional BBC stations.

Alan Alexander Milne, better known as Winnie the Pooh author AA Milne, famously wrote this poem about the ceremony of the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace. It is one of London's most famous ceremonies, with immaculately turned-out guards, stirring music and military precision drills combining to create a stunning spectacle.In this tale Christopher Robin, based on the author's own son, and Alice go to see the ceremony every day. This and many other poems, were bundled into a book called "When We Were Very Young," and published in 1924. You can expect to hear more of these poems in the future.

Originally created in 1926, his stories have sparked wholesome, honey-loving, childhood dreams for nearly a century. Although there are many other characters within the Winnie the Pooh universe (Kanga, Rabbit, Roo, and Tigger — just to name a few), there is not doubt that the bear wearing a red shirt — with his fist shoved into a jar of honey — is most certainly a fan favorite. today celebrates the birthday of AA Milne...the creator of Winnie the Pooh in 1882...by 1960 Winnie had made it to the prestigious New York Times Best Seller List

Winnie the Pooh Day is celebrated on 18th January on birth anniversary of the creator of this cuddly teddy bear character, AA Milne. Winnie the Pooh debuted as a story book character, it was subsequently turned into an animation character. Subsequent is an adjective which means coming after something in time, or following. www.chimesradio.com http://onelink.to/8uzr4g https://www.facebook.com/chimesradio/ https://www.instagram.com/vrchimesradio/ Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/chimesradioSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So, today is Winnie The Pooh Day, the day to celebrate the birthday of AA Milne. Now I'm sure we've all seen the Winnie & Pigglet images with quotes on them, not always Winnie quotes, but usually quite a lot of brevity in them, they're fun sometimes, but othertimes silly.....one thing they all have in common is they perform well, but why? It draws back to connecting with your audience again, and making sure they understand what the pain point is you're removing as a voice of authority / expert in your field.

Welcome to episode ten of Lidia's Booktastic Podcast. Lidia loves to read and we thought that we could put this podcast together and Lidia could tell other boys and girls about the books that she reads and what she thinks of them. We look at all types of books: short stories, comics, facts books, book series and one offs but what's connecting them all is that Lidia will have read them and will be letting you know what she thinks. In this episode, Lidia reviews some of her favourite poetry books including When we were young and Now we are six by AA Milne.

Are the shenanigans of Winnie the Pooh and his woodland friends as sweet and wholesome as they appear to be? Or is the entirety of Hundred Acre Wood just a very complex honey trap to tempt a small child into abandoning the human world for the realm of the fairies? Where are Christopher Robin's parents?

Today we celebrate a bishop botanist whose love of plants was second only to his love of God. We'll also learn about the botanist daughter of a key botanist in England.

It is a challenging site with overhanging woods on the north side and open pasture to the south. A fabulously peaceful spot with a natural garden where plants are allowed to self-seed. There are lots of mixed borders around a pond for wildlife, a formal garden leading to a brick dovecote, a courtyard garden around a water sculpture, a large gravel garden, wild-flower meadows, woodland planting and a large pond with a boardwalk at the end of the woodland. There are many unusual plants and lots of color and interest throughout the summer with an extensive range of interesting plants. The formal garden with dovecote houses 50 white doves while glorious mixed borders, double herbaceous borders of hot colors, large gravel garden, several ponds, arboretum, wildflower meadow, and 13 acres of woodland.

Compton was famous for his substantial garden at Fulham Palace, which was home to more than a thousand exotic plants. Naturally, Compton was drawn to rare plants and new specimens. And, his position as a bishop gave him access to the botanical discoveries that were being sent to England from the American colonies. For instance, we know from his correspondence, that Compton was especially intrigued about the swamp honeysuckle from Virginia. Compton sent a young priest and botanist named John Bannister to Virginia to botanize for him. Banister went on to help found the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg. Bannister proved to be an excellent contact for Compton. He sent him seeds to grow at Fulham Palace, along with detailed notes about his discoveries. Sadly, Banister's life was cut short when he was accidentally shot during an expedition. Like any avid gardener, Compton sometimes felt a little guilty about the amount of money he spent on gardening. So, as penance, he not only collected plants for his own garden, but he also was a patron to prominent botanical figures - like the Tradescants.   1794  Today is the birthday of the botanist Frances Stackhouse Acton. Frances was the daughter of Thomas Andrew Knight, who served as the second president of the Royal Horticultural Society. Thomas assumed the position at the urging of his friend Joseph A Banks. Now, Knight's inclination was always to turn inward - he was a little introverted. Banks helped him overcome that. Thomas Knight had inherited 10,000 acres of land, and he used the property to conduct all kinds of experiments on plants like strawberries, cabbages, and peas. Frances' father encouraged her to pursue her education, and she often recalled that, "the hours spent with [my father] in his study, or in his garden, as amongst [my] happiest recollections". A born pragmatist like her father, Frances assisted him with his breeding efforts, which were always designed to help make better plants to feed the masses. Francis contributed to her father's work through drawing. She illustrated many of her father's writings, and she established herself as both... "an accomplished botanist and botanical artist."   1799  Today is the anniversary of the death of the botanist and entomologist William Curtis, the creator, and publisher of the influential Curtis Botanical Magazine. William founded the magazine in 1787.  Curtis Botanical Magazine made him wealthy, and he often remarked that it had brought him "pudding and praise". William had started out life as an apothecary, but in short order, he discovered that it could not hold his interest. Sir James Edward Smith recalled that William loved being a naturalist more than working in the city. He wrote, "The Apothecary was soon swallowed up in the botanist, and the shop exchanged for a garden!" William was a founder of the Linnaean Society, and he also authored a book about the botany of London called Flora Londiniensis. In 1779, William transformed his Lambeth garden into the London Botanic Garden. William wanted his garden to be a place where visitors could learn all about plants and their uses - not just for food - but in medicine and cooking as well. William was at heart a pragmatist. When William heard from visitors that they needed a resource to help with growing the plants they were acquiring, William came up with the idea for his magazine. On February 1, 1787, the very first Curtis Botanical magazine was published, "for the youth of ... ladies, gentlemen, and gardeners ... who wish to become scientifically acquainted with the plants they cultivate." The magazine owes much of its success to William's promise to provide his readers with helpful illustrations. Artists, like James Sowerby, helped ensure the magazine's success. In addition to his legacy left by his flora and his magazine, the genus Curtisia honors William Curtis.   1832  On this day in 1832, the author and poet Sir Walter Scott arrived back at his incredible home called Abbottsford on the banks of the River Tweed in the beautiful Scottish borders. Scott's health was failing him, and he asked that a bed be set up in the dining room so that he could look out and see the river, the trees, and his magnificent gardens. Lying in that room, Scott was surrounded by portraits of his ancestors. And when he was finally near death in September of that same year - just two short months later - ever the author, Sir Walter Scott, is said to have requested a quill and some paper. And, indeed, he died with a pen in his hand. Abbotsford is impressive, and it seemed destined to become a public place. In 1853 his granddaughter Charlotte inherited the estate. Charlotte cleverly decided to add a path in the Morris Garden, which would bring visitors around to the side, keeping part of the estate and gardens private for the family. During Scott's time at Abbotsford, he added oak and pine trees. He expanded the walled gardens. And today, niches in the south and west walls still hold Scott's collection of Roman panels and other artifacts. Scott's gardener William Bogie added, "narrow beds of hollyhocks, and roses along the arcade, and a leafy, honeysuckle-covered pergola." With paths and hedging that divide the garden into four quarters, Scott's walled garden is still a sight to see.   Unearthed Words Today I'm sharing a poem by A.A. Milne, the English author and poet. He became famous for his story about Winnie the Pooh, but he also wrote this wonderful poem called "The Dormouse and the Doctor." It's a favorite among gardeners because it prominently features three favorite flowers: delphiniums, geraniums, and chrysanthemums. There once was a Dormouse who lived in a bed Of delphiniums (blue) and geraniums (red), And all the day long he'd a wonderful view Of geraniums (red) and delphiniums (blue). A Doctor came hurrying round, and he said: "Tut-tut, I am sorry to find you in bed. Just say  'Ninety-nine', while I look at your chest… Don't you find that chrysanthemums answer the best?" The Dormouse looked round at the view and replied (When he'd said "Ninety-nine") that he'd tried and he'd tried, And much the most answering things that he knew Were geraniums (red) and delphiniums (blue). The Doctor stood frowning and shaking his head, And he took up his shiny silk hat as he said: "What the patient requires is a change," and he went To see some chrysanthemum people in Kent. The Dormouse lay there, and he gazed at the view Of geraniums (red) and delphiniums (blue), And he knew there was nothing he wanted instead Of delphiniums (blue) and geraniums (red). The Doctor came back and, to show what he meant, He had brought some chrysanthemum cuttings from Kent. "Now these," he remarked, "give a much better view Than geraniums (red) and delphiniums (blue)." They took out their spades and they dug up the bed Of delphiniums (blue) and geraniums (red), And they planted chrysanthemums (yellow and white). "And now," said the Doctor, "we'll soon have you right." The Dormouse looked out, and he said with a sigh: "I suppose all these people know better than I. It was silly, perhaps, but I did like the view Of geraniums (red) and delphiniums (blue)." The Doctor came round and examined his chest, And ordered him Nourishment, Tonics, and Rest. "How very effective," he said, as he shook The thermometer, "all these chrysanthemums look!" The Dormouse turned over to shut out the sight Of the endless chrysanthemums (yellow and white). "How lovely," he thought, "to be back in a bed Of delphiniums (blue) and geraniums (red)." The Doctor said, "Tut! It's another attack!" And ordered him Milk and Massage-of-the-back, And Freedom-from-worry and Drives-in-a-car, And murmured, "How sweet your chrysanthemums are!" The Dormouse lay there with his paws to his eyes, And imagined himself such a pleasant surprise: "I'll pretend the chrysanthemums turn to a bed Of delphiniums (blue) and geraniums (red)!" The Doctor next morning was rubbing his hands, And saying, "There's nobody quite understands These cases as I do! The cure has begun! How fresh the chrysanthemums look in the sun!" The Dormouse lay happy, his eyes were so tight He could see no chrysanthemums, yellow or white. And all that he felt at the back of his head Were delphiniums (blue) and geraniums (red). And that is the reason (Aunt Emily said) If a Dormouse gets in a chrysanthemum bed, You will find (so Aunt Emily says) that he lies Fast asleep on his front with his paws to his eyes. — A.A. Milne, English author and poet, The Dormouse and the Doctor   Grow That Garden Library The Himalayan Garden by Jim Jermyn This book came out almost twenty years ago in 2001, and the fantastic subtitle is: Growing Plants from the Roof of the World. Love that subtitle. Hortus raved about this book and said, "If you are among those whose pulse-rate has been kick-started by the 'Subalpine Zone' chapter, then take care as you proceed to the one on the alpine zone: you may need oxygen to take in the contents of this high altitude chapter. . . . Packed with useful and practical advice on how to establish and maintain these plants. . . . A most useful reference, it will certainly earn its space on many a keen grower's shelves." And boy, were they right. The Himalayan Garden by Jim Jermyn is 320 pages of know-how regarding cultivating species that are native to the Himalayas. Only Jim could share these nuggets of Himalayan plant wisdom. What are some Himalayan natives? Think Euphorbia, Gentiana, Meconopsis, Primula, Rhododendron, and more. You can get a copy of The Himalayan Garden by Jim Jermyn and support the show, using the Amazon Link in today's Show Notes for around $20.   Today's Botanic Spark 1930 Today is the anniversary of the death of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The Spring before he died, Doyle was bedridden. However, one morning, unattended, he got up and managed to go out to his garden. Doyle much enjoyed being in his garden. He did most of his writing in the garden. He once remarked, "What a lovely thing a rose is!" But that spring morning in 1930, his family found him lying on the ground with one hand clutching his heart and the other... holding a single white snowdrop. He languished until July 7, 1930, when he passed away with his family at his bedside. His last words were to his wife. He whispered, "You are wonderful." After his death, newspaper accounts shared that, on a beautiful summer day, he was buried in the garden. The garden had been Doyle's special retreat, and the place he was buried is right next to his garden hut. After it was built, the hut was the place Doyle went to write his stories about one of the world's best-loved detectives: Sherlock Holmes. Now, history tells us that over 200 people attended Doyle's funeral.  And, on that day, so many wreaths were sent from all over the world that they were spread over the large paddock west of the home and that they covered over an acre of land with blooms. Accounts of the funeral say that when Conan Doyle's coffin was placed in the grave, "Lady Doyle kissed a rose and threw it in." Lady Jean Conan Doyle continued to live at Windlesham for another decade until her death on June 27, 1940. She was buried next to her husband in the garden.

April 30, 2020 - Us Two By AA Milne, Read By Katherine Merry by The Desmond-Fish Public Library & The Highlands Current, hosted by Ryan Biracree

The many adventures of Winnie the Pooh is a classic dark ride at Magic Kingdom and Disneyland.  The AA Milne characters have been part of the Disney family since the 1960s but did not become part of an attraction in the US parks until 1999.  The rides on both coasts are virtually identical, but the lands and the queues vary wildly.  Does the interactive queue at Walt Disney World outweigh the relatively short wait times at Disneyland?  Have we heard the last of the ”what is Dan watching on Disney+ segment?”  Did that segment last 4 episodes too long?

I don’t know about you but despite being 35 years old I’ve learned some incredible lessons from Children’s books, particularly Dr Seuss, over the years, many that I think can be applicable to business and life in general.   I honestly think if you got him and AA Milne in a room together there would be some PURE magic, oh to be a fly on the wall for that chat.   So much freaking wisdom that you wish you appreciated as a child.   Anyhoo, what’s my point here?   I was at a big entrepreneurial event a couple of weeks ago and I was having dinner with some power house women that I'm very lucky to be able to call friends and I talked about a reading we had at our wedding of Oh the places you’ll go by Dr Seuss.   They giggled (then remembered I'm essentially a big kid and it’s not really a surprise that I read this stuff ha!) and I said, hold up let me read it to you.   So I did.   They were transfixed...And they instantly ‘got it’.   So today’s message for you is going to be slightly different!   So perhaps ‘Oh the places you’ll go’ is not a common wedding reading but considering what we were going through at the time, incredibly poignant for us.   The reason I want to share it with you today is that it really helped both myself and my husband at the time to keep the faith in tough times.     To know that we were still on the right path despite what we were going through at the time and that it would all be worth it in the end, and we’d probably come out better and stronger in the long run.   I still occasionally read it out to my husband as a reminder of where we were, where we are now, the journey and a reminder to keep the faith.     That everything is going to work out just as it’s supposed to.   I won’t go into detail about what was going on for us because it’s not just my story, but the short version is that we lost a business, our home, moved in with my mother in law (for 4.5 years...Sorry Pen!) and had originally cancelled our wedding because we could no longer pay for it, all this happened pretty much in one go.   Our parents kindly stepped in and we had the most incredible DIY wedding where I made everything from scratch...yes baked bean cans were used very creatively ha!  But that's by the by!   Oh the Places You'll Go is a message of being able to regroup.     A message that everything isn’t going to be perfect all the time, that mistakes will be made, but that you can come back fighting and it’s not the end.   For me Oh the places you’ll go is a message about staying curious, open and to keep going.   I thought it would be a good time to share it now as we’re so close to the end of the year, and the end of the decade and I'm seeing/hearing a lot of people panic.   Panic about not being where they wanted to be yet.     That they feel far away from their goals and as if they’re running out of time.   You’re not.   Trust me.  You’re exactly where your’re supposed to be right now. I know it can feel hard but be patient grasshopper...it’s all coming to you, maybe not in the same form you think it will be right now, but if you stick with it it’s coming!   So, of course I can’t just read the whole thing out for you so do go and purchase your own copy! I highly recommend reading it to your kiddies too.   But I'm going to pick out my key quotes from it and what I took from them, in the hope that it helps you too.   I hope you love it as much as I do.   “Congratulations! Today is your day. You're off to Great Places! You're off and away! You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go.” (Oh The Places You’ll Go, Theodor Seuss Geisel aka Dr Seuss)   Love this for a starting point.  For me this is showing that EVERYONE has the ability to achieve whatever they want as long as they CHOOSE to!  And TODAY, not tomorrow, not next week, TODAY is YOUR day.   “You'll look up and down streets. Look 'em over with care. About some you will say, "I don't choose to go there." With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet, you're too smart to go down any not-so-good street.” (Oh The Places You’ll Go, Theodor Seuss Geisel aka Dr Seuss)   This for me is about having your wits about you and trusting your gut and intuition to guide you and really TRUSTING yourself. And being OK with not having it all figured out at once, it’s not realistic to expect yourself to, so sit with it and stay patient.    “And then things start to happen, don't worry. Don't stew. Just go right along. You'll start happening too.” (Oh The Places You’ll Go, Theodor Seuss Geisel aka Dr Seuss)   I love this little sentence.    For me It’s all about how you need to allow yourself time and trust that your thoughts and beliefs are going to catch up to you.     Again, it’s about trust for me.  Trust that even though it’s going to feel a bit wobbly at times and you’ll have doubts that it will all come together.    It always takes a bit of time for your unconscious programming to catch up with your conscious wants, goals and desires.    But, it will catch up if you make the unconscious beliefs conscious so you can challenge them and take the time for your brain to gather the evidence.   “You'll be on your way up! You'll be seeing great sights! You'll join the high fliers who soar to high heights.  You won't lag behind, because you'll have the speed. You'll pass the whole gang and you'll soon take the lead. Wherever you fly, you'll be best of the best. Wherever you go, you will top all the rest. Except when you don't. Because, sometimes, you won't.” (Oh The Places You’ll Go, Theodor Seuss Geisel aka Dr Seuss)   This is the piece of expectations vs reality! Being prepared to fall, fail and fail forward!    “I'm sorry to say so but, sadly, it's true that Bang-ups and Hang-ups can happen to you. You can get all hung up in a prickle-ly perch. And your gang will fly on. You'll be left in a Lurch.” (Oh The Places You’ll Go, Theodor Seuss Geisel aka Dr Seuss)   Urgh...I think we can all relate to this one! It’s inevitable that there will be ups AND downs.  It happens to all of us.   Then there’s the friends (and family!) who don’t ‘get’ what you’re doing, there’s people who pretend to be your friend based on what they think you can GIVE them and their perception of what you’re doing and where you’re at!     It can be tricky to navigate but so worth it in the end because people who were never REAL friends will go and you’ll be left with the 'lifers'.     The people who have your back and lift you up.     Letting go of friendships can be hard but remember it’s not actually about you anyway, it’s about them, their map of the world, what you highlight in them that they don’t like. All sorts of things.     The bottom line is it will feel tough...but it’s for the right reasons in the end and all the amazing ups are on the other side of it.   “You'll come down from the Lurch with an unpleasant bump. And the chances are, then, that you'll be in a Slump. And when you're in a Slump, you're not in for much fun. Un-slumping yourself is not easily done... Do you dare to stay out? Do you dare to go in? How much can you lose? How much can you win?” (Oh The Places You’ll Go, Theodor Seuss Geisel aka Dr Seuss)   It’s inevitable that we will make mistakes, sometimes fail, do something against our values because we’re told that’s the way it’s done and then beat ourselves up for not being where we want to be, or for having a setback.     But the message for me here is to stick with it.  Don’t lose hope.     It may not be easy sometimes but it’s all POSSIBLE, especially when you work out the pay offs and potential rewards. Some of my favourite questions to ask are what are the positives and negatives for if I do and DON’T do something.    This game needs an element of courage.  Which isn’t about not feeling fear, it’s about taking action in SPITE of it.   “You can get so confused that you'll start in to race, down long wiggled roads at a break-necking pace and grind on for miles cross weirdish wild space, headed, I fear, toward a most useless place.The Waiting Place...   ...for people just waiting. Waiting for a train to go, or a bus to come, or a plane to go or the mail to come, or the rain to go or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow, or the waiting around for a Yes or No or waiting for their hair to grow. Everyone is just waiting.” (Oh The Places You’ll Go, Theodor Seuss Geisel aka Dr Seuss)   Then it goes in to many other ways to be waiting, ha!    I LOVE this part the most because it really highlights just how ridiculous it is to stay waiting.    That’s what will cripple you achieving what you want.     Waiting for circumstances to change rather than making it happen for yourself!   And yet, it’s what SO many of us do.  We wait, stuck in inaction.   “NO! That's not for you! Somehow you'll escape all that waiting and staying You'll find the bright places where Boom Bands are playing. With banner flip-flapping, once more you'll ride high! Ready for anything under the sky. Ready because you're that kind of a guy!” (Oh The Places You’ll Go, Theodor Seuss Geisel aka Dr Seuss)   Then there’s a lovely piece about all the lovely things you’ll be doing, ha!   This shows that to find the way through it’s about taking action. Taking action is where things move forward and you build momentum.   And then...   “Except when they don't Because, sometimes they won't.  I'm afraid that some times you'll play lonely games too. Games you can't win 'cause you'll play against you.  All Alone! Whether you like it or not, Alone will be something you'll be quite a lot. And when you're alone, there's a very good chance you'll meet things that scare you right out of your pants. There are some, down the road between hither and yon, that can scare you so much you won't want to go on.” (Oh The Places You’ll Go, Theodor Seuss Geisel aka Dr Seuss)   We can all relate to this part i’m sure.    The feeling that we have to do everything for ourselves.     The inevitable mindset gremlins, fear and uncertainty that really are inevitable.   This can be a lonely game if you don’t put a structure in place to deal with it. Being alone is NOT the best or easiest OR quickest way forward. It takes longer to get out of the slumps and funks when you try to do it on your own.   Systems and structure help you through any of the wobbly times so you DON’T feel all alone.    We are all our own worst enemies, it’s how we’re built and how our brain can work against us….but it doesn’t have to be that way.  Once you learn a few tools and techniques you can learn to get your brain to work WITH you, and unslump yourself MUCH faster.   What can you put in place to make sure you have that structure?    Masterminds, coaching, memberships, going to events...what will it be for you?   “But on you will go though the weather be foul. On you will go though your enemies prowl….On and on you will hike, And I know you'll hike far and face up to your problems whatever they are.” (Oh The Places You’ll Go, Theodor Seuss Geisel aka Dr Seuss)   This is all about courage for me.     Action in spite of fear, setbacks, failures, mishaps.     The resilience to just keep going and you’ll get where you’re going.   That’s the good stuff!   “You'll get mixed up, of course, as you already know... So be sure when you step. Step with care and great tact and remember that Life's a Great Balancing Act. Just never forget to be dexterous and deft. And never mix up your right foot with your left.” (Oh The Places You’ll Go, Theodor Seuss Geisel aka Dr Seuss)   Good old behavioural flexibility!  Everything worth having is going to come with ups and downs, be as prepared as you can...but also prepare to be flexible!   “And will you succeed? Yes! You will, indeed! (98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed.)  KID, YOU'LL MOVE MOUNTAINS! So… be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray or Mordecai Ali Van Allen O'Shea, You're off the Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So...get on your way!” (Oh The Places You’ll Go, Theodor Seuss Geisel aka Dr Seuss)   I LOVE this finish.     For me it’s essentially saying this is FOR YOU.     No matter who you are or where you’ve come from, you just have to choose it and it’s possible for all of us.   Make the decision and take the action and get on your way.  Stick with it, expect a few wobbles, ups and downs along the way.  Keep your vision in mind and you’ll get to where you’re going. Patience.   I hope you’ve enjoyed it as much as me and you’re popping  off to your nearest book store to grab your copy.   If you know that now is the time to start changing things for yourself and want to explore this further, have any questions or want some accountability to make sure you’re doing the things you need to then please book in a free discovery call so we can see what needs to happen to get you from where you’re at right now, to the successful business owner you know you can be!!

Eleanor Rosamund Barraclough braves the fearsome heffalumps as she steps into the world of AA Milne. There's no secret about the inspiration for Winnie the Pooh. Thousands of people flock to the Ashdown Forest in East Sussex every year to track down Christopher Robin's tree and play Pooh Sticks. In his autobiography, Christopher Robin Milne wrote of a brief but blissful childhood spent amongst the trees with his battered teddy bear. Pooh's forest and the Ashdown Forest are, he wrote, identical. The writer, Brian Sibley, joins Eleanor for a walk through the forest and an appreciation of one of the saddest endings in literature. Christopher knows he has to leave his friends and return to school. That's enough to drive many adult readers to tears but Brian believes there will always be a boy and his bear sharing adventures in the 100 Acre Wood. Producer: Alasdair Cross
